FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2023–2025
Premier Pool Service Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Premier Pool Service reported 46 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 36 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 8.3%— while 13 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +41.2% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 33 | 34 | 38 |
| Opened | 8 | 11 | 13 |
| Transfers | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 7 | 7 | 3 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 34 | 38 | 48 |
| Net change | +1 | +4 | +10 |
3 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 36 at start = 8.3%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing Premier Pool Service's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
